I'm a big Olympus fan, having loved my C-730 for four years, and, more recently, my C-5500. I didn't really *need* another camera, certainly not a replacement for either of those two. But when I readthe reviews of the Panasonic FZ5 I became rather obsessed. :-)

It just arrived (from IBuyDigital.com), so I can't say much about the features except the startlingly fast focus. You might consider this one, too.
